Isaiah 8
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Eis sie ipin mwe sim lulap ac simusla fac ke mutun sim lulap: ‘Sulaklak Eisla, Aksaya Wapi.’
And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and with a man's writing-instrument write on it, Hasteth-the-prey, Speedeth-the-spoil.
2 Eis mwet lulalfongiyuk luo inge tuh elos in mwet loh: mwet tol Uriah, ac Zechariah wen natul Jeberechiah.”
And I took with me faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
3 Kutu pacl tok, mutan kiuk el pitutu ac oswela wen se. Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Sang inel ‘Sulaklak-Eisla-Aksaya-Wapi.’
I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then said Jehovah to me, Call his name, Hasteth-the-prey, Speedeth-the-spoil.
4 Meet liki tulik mukul sac ku in fahk ‘Papa’ ac ‘Nina,’ mwe kasrup nukewa lun Damascus ac ma wap nukewa lun Samaria ac fah utukla sin tokosra lun Assyria.”
For before the child shall learn to say, My father, and My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be borne away before the king of Assyria.
5 LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik.
Moreover, Jehovah spake to me again, saying:
6 El fahk, “Ke sripen mwet inge srangesr eis kof mihs ma tuku ke Infacl srisrik Shiloah, a elos engan in eisalosyang nu inpaol Tokosra Rezin ac Tokosra Pekah,
Because this people despiseth The soft-flowing waters of Siloah, And rejoiceth in Rezin, and the son of Remaliah,
7 nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah use Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa in mweun lain Judah. Elos ac fahsryak oana tuku lun sronot uh, oana kof lulap ke Infacl Euphrates, ac afunla pefacl uh.
Therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth upon them the strong and mighty waters of the river; [[The king of Assyria and all his glory.]] He shall rise above all his channels, And go over all his banks.
8 Elos ac asrma sasla Judah oana sie sronot ma lapak nu ke fulatan finpisen mwet uh, ac afunla ma nukewa.” God El wi kut! El karingin acn uh ye posohksok lal.
And he shall pass through Judah, overflowing and spreading; Even to the neck shall he reach, And his stretched-out wings shall fill the whole breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
9 Kowos mutunfacl uh, tukeni nu sie ke sangeng! Porongo, kowos su muta yen loessula faclu. Akola in mweun, tusruktu kowos in sangeng! Aok akola, tusruktu kowos in sangeng!
Rage, ye nations, and despair! Give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth! Gird yourselves, and despair! Gird yourselves, and despair!
10 Orala oakwuk lowos an, tusruktu ac fah tia ku in orekla. Fahk ma nukewa kowos lungse fahk, tusruktu ac wangin sripa, mweyen God El wi kut.
Form your plan, and it shall come to naught; Give the command, and it shall not stand; For God is with us.
11 Ke ku lulap lal, LEUM GOD El sensenkakinyu nga in tia fahsr ke inkanek ma mwet uh fahsr kac. El fahk,
For thus spake Jehovah to me with a strong hand, Instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
12 “Nik kom wela pwapa sulal lun mwet, ac nik kom sangeng ke ma elos sangeng kac uh.
Call not everything a confederacy which this people calleth a confederacy; Fear ye not what they fear, Neither be afraid!
13 Esam lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, nga mutal. Nga pa kom ac sangeng se uh.
Jehovah of hosts, sanctify ye him; Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread!
14 Ke sripen mangoliyen mutal luk, nga oana sie eot ma mwet uh tukulkul kac. Nga oana sie sruhf ma ac srifusrya mwet in tokosrai lun Judah ac Israel, oayapa mwet Jerusalem.
And he shall be to you a sanctuary; But a stone of stumbling, and a rock to strike against, To the two houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Mwet puspis fah tukulkul. Elos ac ikori ac itungyuki. Elos ac fah sruh ac utukla.”
And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall, and be broken; They shall be ensnared and taken.
16 Kowos, mwet tumuk lutlut, enenu in karinganang ac sruokya ku kas nukewa ma God El ase nu sik.
Bind up the revelation, Seal the word, with my disciples!
17 LEUM GOD El okanulla sifacna liki mwet lal uh, tuh nga lulalfongel ac filiya finsrak luk in El.
I will, therefore, wait for Jehovah, Who now hideth his face from the house of Jacob; Yet will I look for him.
18 Nga pa inge, wi tulik ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. LEUM GOD Kulana, su tron lal oan fin Eol Zion, El supwekut nu sin mwet Israel in oana mwe akul moul nu selos.
Behold, I, and the children which Jehovah hath given me, Are signs and tokens in Israel From Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth upon mount Zion.
19 Tusruktu mwet uh ac fah siyuk kom in lolngok yurin mwet susfa ac mwet inutnut, su ac mahma srisrik ac mungulngul. Elos fah fahk, “Ya tia fal mwet uh in sukok kas sin ngun, ac lolngok yurin mwet misa in kasru mwet moul?”
And when they shall say to you, “Inquire of the necromancers and the wizards, That chirp, and that murmur,” [[Then say ye, ]] “Should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead for the living?”
20 Kowos in topkolos ac fahk, “Lipsre ma LEUM GOD El luti nu suwos! Nimet porongo mwet inutnut — ma elos fahk nu suwos uh ac tia ku in kasrekowos.”
To the word, to the revelation! If they speak not according to this, For them no bright morning shall arise.
21 Mwet uh ac fufahsryesr fin facl sac, ac elos ac munasla ac masrinsralla. Ke sripen masrinsral lalos elos ac kasrkusrak ac selngawi tokosra lalos ac God lalos. Elos ac ngetak nu inkusrao,
They shall pass through the land distressed and famished; And when they are famished, they shall be enraged, and curse their king and their God, And look upward.
22 ku suiya infohk uh, a wangin ma elos ac liye sayen mwe ongoiya ac lohsr matoltol — aok ac fah sisiyang elos nu in lohsr, ac wangin inkanek lalos in kaingla liki pacl in ongoiya se inge.
And if they look to the earth, Behold distress and darkness, fearful darkness! And into darkness shall they be driven.
